Legalize Gay, hateful vandalizing at an American Apparel

Harassment.

Vandalism.

Death Threats.

People in my hometown of the Washington D.C. metropolitan area hate teh gay so much that they are vandalizing and threatening American Apparel (s). Why? Because American Apparel has a tee shirt that reads "Legalize Gay."

ARE YOU FOR REAL? WHAT THE FUGGG?!! GAY RIGHTS!!!! THEY ARE PEOPLE! THEY JUST WANT THE SAME RIGHTS YOU HAVE!! OH MY FUGGIN GOD!!

Frank is on a tear this time he jumps down onto a moving semi-truck and full speed and crushes the cement beneath, full speed on foot to D.C.

So much for moral authority or higher ground or Jebus or whatever the hell you follow to tell you to HATE and I mean HATE someone else's sexual orientation. This is what right wing extremists, teh Faux News, "Judeo-Christian" nut jobs do; they harass, they beat, they ridicule, they intimidate and they out right break the law because you don't "fit into" their planet of Wingnuttia. What is wrong with people? I wonder how many people told them to not be born? Wonder if anyone ever told them who they could and could not love? The stick is so far up they can't even have a tee shirt A TEE SHIRT with an opinion they don't like and that opinion mind you is for a basic right EQUALITY.

Yesterday an American Apparel store in Silver Spring, Maryland had a window broken by someone upset over the company's support for gay marriage. Our Georgetown location and others in the areas have received similar threats. We just wanted to use this forum here to announce that not only are they not going to prevent us from speaking out on an issue that is important to this company and our employees but we'll continue to run Legalize Gay advertisements in papers across DC-Metro area. We'll also send Legalize Gay t-shirts to any group in Washington DC that is fighting for gay rights and will help support any protest or rally for the cause.

We don't find this kind of thing funny and we definitely don't find it intimidating. Thanks to everyone who has reached out to us and if you need anything please contact: Jonny at jonnys@americanapparel.net or (213) 488-0226

Okay I can breath again and turn from my RAGE to a little after thought...time to go buy a new tee shirt.
